Bangla OCR — Bengali Text from Images
Extract Bengali text from any image — free, in your browser. Printed Bangla from books, notes, screenshots and photos is recognised on your device; nothing is uploaded.
Printed, clear Bangla works best. Handwriting, blurry photos and fancy fonts recognise poorly — the tool says so honestly and shows its confidence score.

How to use
- Choose an image that contains printed Bengali text — a book page, note or screenshot.
- Click Extract Bangla Text. The image is recognised only on your device; the first run downloads the Bengali language data once.
- Copy the extracted text and check it against the image — low confidence means some words may be wrong.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bangla OCR really free here?
Yes — completely free, no signup and no upload. Most Bangla OCR tools are paid apps or send your image to a server; this one runs Tesseract's free Bengali model entirely in your browser.
What kind of Bangla text works best?
Clear printed Bangla — books, newspapers, typed notes and clean screenshots. Handwriting, blurry photos, tilted text and decorative fonts recognise poorly, and the confidence score will show it.
Why does the first run take a while?
The first time, your browser downloads the Bengali language data (about 1.4 MB) and the OCR engine. After that it is cached, so later runs start much faster.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Recognition happens only on your device with Tesseract.js. The image never leaves your browser.
